The final count was:

Yes— 393

The $73,465,000 capital project will renovate all four of the district’s schools to better align facilities with curriculum.

The final count was:

Voters also elected Dan LaLonde with 424 votes and Fred Schell with 413 votes to three-year terms on the Board of Education. Both candidates ran unopposed.

This is an exciting time for Central Valley,” said Superintendent Rich Hughes.

“This budget and capital project will help bring to fruition the community’s vision of a high quality education for our students. What began as a dream when the people supported the merger is now one step closer to reality. That’s why our motto is ‘Central Valley Thunder…taking the world by storm.'”
